0010 National Level?! Legendary Acknowledgment and Understanding of Tennis! Swallowing Spirit Ryuga! 【Reward Tickets for Extra Chapters!】
Night.
After dinner.
“Caecilia-san, I’ll wash the dishes!”
“Hehe, no need! I heard that you not only beat Ryuga today, but also Uncle! You are amazing!”
“The old man wasn’t serious! Well… I’m going to the court now!”
“Mhm! Be sure to rest! It’s not good to get injured because of training!”
“Okay.”
Leaving the kitchen, Bei Mo slowly walked towards the courtyard tennis court.
He also noticed that Ryoma Echizen was not playing around with his father after dinner as usual.
Instead, he was practicing his serve on the court.
Ryoma Echizen stood on the opposite side of the court, jogging and putting the tennis balls his brother hit back into the basket.
“Hehe, Ryuga, this stinky kid, was quite stimulated by you today!”
A chuckle came from behind. Bei Mo turned to see Nanjiro Echizen, a toothpick in his mouth.
“If he can be stimulated by me, it’s naturally a good thing!”
“His talent is just being wasted by his laziness!”
“Otherwise, his strength wouldn't be at this level now.”
“By the way...”
Bei Mo paused.
“Old man! Objectively speaking, what stage am I at in terms of strength?”
Nanjiro Echizen raised his hand, removing the toothpick from his mouth.
He first glanced at Bei Mo.
Then, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke: “Strictly speaking, your kid has already reached the national level!”
“Technique, strength, speed, reaction, these four aspects are even stronger than ordinary national-level players!”
“And you are only 10 years old…”
A sense of wonder could not help but appear in Nanjiro Echizen’s voice.
This young man, only 10 years old, had already reached a level of strength that many tennis players, spending their entire tennis careers, could not achieve.
National level!!
No matter what country's overall tennis level it was placed in, it was not a weakling.
At the very least, it had the qualifications to officially enter the ranks of the elite!
But there was something else he hadn't mentioned!!
That was the final point Bei Mo scored when playing against him.
The reason why he didn’t return the shot was that he was playing against this kid to see his full strength!
He had already observed what he needed to, so there was no need to continue playing!
This point was also his inner acknowledgment of Bei Mo’s strength!
Second…
He saw more potential in this kid’s body from this shot!!
It was as if all his advantages were expanding at the moment of that return shot!!
This kind of amplification could not be achieved by any other means.
It’s just that each one is extremely difficult to activate!!
But Bei Mo obviously doesn't master any of them...
He was also thinking about the reason behind the amplification of that shot, and that's why he didn't move his feet.
Bei Mo, after receiving the answer, nodded slightly on the surface, pretending to be indifferent.
But he was still amazed in his heart.
National level!!
Before taking the Talent Essence, he was one step away from the Kanto level!!
But now... He knows that he is definitely strong!
But he never thought that he had already crossed the threshold of the national level.
Furthermore!!
This was personally certified by Nanjiro Echizen!!
Which Echizen man is not stubborn?!
The phrase “You still have a long way to go” has become a common mocking phrase for Echizen men, both inside and outside the family.
If Nanjiro Echizen says that he has surpassed the ordinary national level, then the extent to which he has surpassed it is probably not just a little bit!!
Bei Mo spoke softly: “So, what do you think I should do to improve now? Increase my training volume?”
Nanjiro Echizen is now very serious. After hearing Bei Mo’s question, he shook his head gently.
“No!”
“Training volume is only one way for players to improve their strength! But for you now, what you need more is to find your own tennis style!”
“Style?” Bei Mo frowned slightly, puzzled.
Nanjiro Echizen pointed to the path from the courtyard to the villa’s main entrance.
“The end of the tennis road, every tennis player can move towards it!”
“But the style determines which path you are taking!”
“If we say that players with average talent have to struggle with every step they take, like walking in a muddy swamp! Then talented players have more paths to choose from, and the road surface is smoother!”
“Generally speaking! Many players have already made their choices before the national level by understanding their own strengths!
“Your situation is special. You’ve only been playing tennis for a year, but your strength has improved rapidly!”
“But the choices that should be made and the things that should be understood, cannot be missed!”
Bei Mo listened, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Indeed!
To be fair, Nanjiro Echizen, although he has his own personality issues.
But.
In terms of tennis, his understanding is at the top of the pyramid.
Defining a direction and the path underfoot will allow you to move forward better!!
Otherwise, it's just like a headless fly!
Waiting until you hit a wall before transitioning, the most precious time of a player’s life will be wasted!
“Start with your skills! Learn about your skills and your overall abilities, find your strengths, and then determine your direction!”
“Right?”
Bei Mo looked at Nanjiro Echizen and said what he wanted to do next.
The peaceful gaze of the latter revealed unhidden joy.
“I knew you were quick-witted!”
“Alright, there’s a youth tennis challenge in Boston in a few days! It’s for little kids like you!”
“It’s not good to just train at home! Competition will promote faster growth!”
“If you’re interested, have Caecilia sign you up online!”
To this, Bei Mo naturally would not refuse.
Even if he could endure a year of dull training, he wanted to go out and compete with others.
And just as Nanjiro Echizen turned around and was about to go back to the house for a post-dinner nap.
“Old man, how much is the champion’s prize money?”
“10,000 US dollars! Ssh… I let it slip! You heard wrong! There’s no prize money in tennis matches!!”
Bei Mo looked at the other party’s guilty look and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Being a legendary player, he actually wanted to make this 10-year-old kid “work” for free.
“Half of it will be used to repay the money you owe to the orphanage, and half will be for the old director!”
Nanjiro Echizen was stunned, but soon the corner of his mouth turned up.
He gave a thumbs up, put his hands in his pockets, and left.
And Bei Mo turned his attention to Ryoma Echizen, who was practicing on the court.
He put his hand on his chest.
Nanjiro Echizen’s 【Replication of Swallowing Spirit】 was complete, so it’s time to start the second Swallowing Spirit goal.
